the united states government? >> well, it is hard for people in that part of the world, it seems, to grasp the fact that something published on the internet, put out on the internet, is approved by the united states government. obviously it is not. that's the whole point of the internet, is that it has the freedom and people to do this. but in the age of modern communications, these things are going to happen, and it's going to require the leaders in that part of the world to educate their people about the distinction between individual acts that can be condemned, the messages in them, and the acts of government. government can't prevent this sort of thing, as long as we believe in free speech, and that's something that is hard, obviously, in that part of the world, to understand. >> -- being lost because we've heard all the sound bites from the president, from washington, from the state department, very much so, vehemently condemning what happened. yet the message somewhere between the u.s. and egypt, it's not be
